How to Install Meemo on Fedora Server

Meemo is a lightweight, flexible, and fast web-based note-taking system. In this tutorial, we'll be installing Meemo on Fedora Server latest.

Prerequisites

For this tutorial, you'll need:

• A running Fedora Server
• A terminal or SSH connection to your server
• Root access or a user with sudo privileges

Step 1 — Install Required Packages

Before we begin installing Meemo, we need to install some required packages:

sudo dnf -y install git php-cli php-mbstring php-sqlite3 php-json sqlite

This command will install Git, PHP CLI, PHP Multibyte String, PHP SQLite3, PHP Json, and SQLite packages.

Step 2 — Clone the Meemo Repository

Now, we need to clone the Meemo repository from GitHub:

sudo git clone https://github.com/cassidoo/meemo /var/www/meemo

This command will download the Meemo repository to the /var/www/meemo directory.

Step 3 — Configure Meemo

Next, we need to configure Meemo by copying the config.sample.php file to config.php:

sudo cp /var/www/meemo/config.sample.php /var/www/meemo/config.php

Now, we need to edit the config.php file and set the appropriate configuration options:

sudo nano /var/www/meemo/config.php

You'll need to set the following options:

• DB_FILE: The path to the SQLite database file
• BASE_URL: The URL of the Meemo website
• SECURITY_SALT: A secret key used for encrypting data

Here's an example config.php file:

<?php
define('DB_FILE', '/var/www/meemo/meemo.sqlite');
define('BASE_URL', 'http://www.example.com/meemo');
define('SECURITY_SALT', 'your_security_salt_here');

Save the file and exit the editor.

Step 4 — Set Permissions

Since we're going to be using SQLite for the Meemo database, we need to make sure that the appropriate directories are writeable:

sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/meemo/data
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/meemo/upload
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/www/meemo/tmp

This command will set the appropriate permissions for the data, upload, and tmp directories.

Step 5 — Start the Web Server

Now, we need to start the web server. If you're using Apache, you'll need to create a virtual host for Meemo. Here's an example virtual host configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName meemo.example.com
  DocumentRoot /var/www/meemo
  <Directory /var/www/meemo>
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Save the file and exit the editor.

After creating the virtual host configuration file, enable and start the Apache service:

sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd

Step 6 — Finish Installation

Finally, open up your web browser and navigate to the Meemo URL that you configured in Step 3. You should see the Meemo login page. If you see any errors, double-check your configuration settings.

Once you've logged in, you're ready to start using Meemo!

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we've installed Meemo on Fedora Server latest. Meemo is now ready to use as a lightweight, flexible, and fast web-based note-taking system.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
